decimated al qaeda. >> cnn is also told rice tried to clarify to gop senators is what she meant is al qaeda's core leadership has been decimated. gop leaders say it's proof she was putting pre-election spin before national security. >> it was unjustified to give the scenario as presented by ambassador rice and president obama. three weeks before an election. >> ambassador rice, what do you say to republicans who say your comments were politically motivated? >> rice did not answer our question. she did release a statement admitting her talking points were, quote, incorrect in a ski respect. there was no protest or demonstration in benghazi. while we certainly wished we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case, the intelligence assessment was involved. we stressed that neither i nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the american people at any stage in the process. the white house had this to say. >> the focus on some might say obsession on, comments made on sunday shows seems to me and to many to be misplaced. >> gop sena

if that reference to al qaeda was taken out. one to be an intelligence issue. i think what's happening is there is no final answer yet on everything that is concerned with benghazi until those investigations are completed, and those investigations, of course, are the fbi investigation and then also the state department's own investigation. so at this point it's not -- i don't think it's really getting a lot of traction. there's not a lot of change. you have ambassador rice coming out and saying that she raid the points that were presented to her by the intelligence community, but then there was one senator who said, well, she should have gone further. she should have investigated or questioned those. those are all legitimate questions. i don't think that they are going to be totally resolved. i think the questions are going to continue until there might be some type of resolution, you know, when the whole very sad and tragic affair is understood. >> all right. we're going have to leave it at that. i want to have more questions for you in i bit. here's what we a

qaeda references, not by the zewe we had been told by the director of national intelligence came from the intelligence committee. it's worse than when she went up. she'll see bob corker, known to be bipartisan from tennessee and i don't think it'll be quite as vitriolic as yesterday. she felt she wanted to clear her name and she had been maligned and just been on morning television. that the real issue as jay carney was trying to say what happened before, what happened during but not what happened on sunday morning television programs and there is an investigation that hillary clinton has commissioned. it is a legally mandated investigation being led by none other than the former chairman, joint chief, mike ullin and co-chaired from mike pickering and deputy secretary of state. it's going to be coming out in mid-december and reported to congress and i understand it's going to be very tough on the state department for not ramping up security which many people believe could be the real issue here, not what was said on sunday morning television. but the white house is fighting for her. >
